Hi everyone!

Well I haven't updated in ages. Sorry. I did finish my Japanese project! At...4am on Sunday night. And I had to turn it in, so I won't be able to scan the pictures for a while. Most of them turned out pretty crappy anyway ^^

Freshman Project isn't over until mid May, and things will be getting pretty hectic, so expect nothing from me for a while...

Maybe my problem is I need to find more interesting things to draw...other than bnl ^^
